Haha I'm embarrassed to show you all my "WINTER BEATER". It's actually the daily driver, so I can keep miles off of the G8. It's a 1990 Honda accord, green, with 98,000 miles. Power everything and runs like a champ! Grandma bought it brand new "it was a nice car 23 years ago". Got it from her for 500.00! Can't beat it!

Last years "beater" was my 2000 Silverado, still got it....just not used for a beater unless it is SERIOUS snow. We inherited a 1998 Buick Century with 124k miles on, wife licensed and registered it....so guess what? I improved it from 22.8Mpg to 25.2Mpg within a month.

Tires are BFGs and they suck in the winter, they turn into plastic when it's cold out, gotta run them at about 15psi to get any traction. I won't be buying another set of those, hopefully will replace them next summer.

Don't seem to have any recent pictures in the snow....if we get some snow this year, I'll take some again.
